Life after stroke

This year, 40,000 Australians will suffer a stroke. This can happen at any time, in any place. If prompt medical diagnosis and treatment is received, prognosis for recovery can be good. But what happens after you’ve suffered a stroke? How do you get your life back on track and reduce the after effects? In our downloadable PDF, Life after stroke, Di Websdale-Morrissey highlights some of the practical steps that can be taken to minimise the impact of a stroke, and how simple lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of suffering a second one.
Mental stimulation is important when recovering from any illness, but especially with one that has affected the brain. Our Word of the Day offers the chance to learn something new, or simply remind you of a favourite word that you may no longer use. And if you fancy something a little more political, register your vote for the upcoming US presidential election. Obama may be out in front in most polls, but only two nations in the world would vote for McCain as president – can you guess which ones?
If all else fails, how about a good drink, a giggle and a touching tale to set you up for the weekend? On this Halloween eve, laugh at our amusing way to make sure you're not haunted and enjoy a glass of Michael's Limoncello Delight, straight from the Tamborine Mountain Distillery, to ease you into a freaky Friday. .
